The Orange President autos are at 28 days. I had to thin out the bottom of the plants and pop the big fan leaves off. They had got so packed that they could not be tucked anymore and they were transpiring all over each other. I took a break about halfway through cleaning them up and took a pic. A few more off the right plant and they are good to go. Still not the size I think they should be they are healthy. I've got there next Gaia Green feeding all measured out in quart jars and ready to go. Letting the plants drink there butt chugging bases dry and dry back a bit. Then I will feed and top water the Gaia Green in. At four weeks they should start flowering pretty soon. I pulled the crappy ACI T7 humidifier out of the tent and set it up outside the tent. ACI is shipping out a replacement this week sometime. This gave me enough room to move the plants around a bit more to my liking under the dual HLG 350R's and make it easy to fill the butt chugging water pans. Next couple of weeks should be interesting.

The Papaya Sherbet is 35 days old today. A few days ago I decided to top her. I popped 12 tops off and defoliated her a fair amount. Had to thin her out she was transpiring on herself. So all the big fans came off with a few others and cleaned her bottom up a tad. She has a bit of nute burn. I left the big fans on her as long as I could so they could suck up the extra nitrogen. They had got very dark green and a sheen was developing on them. So they did there job. Temp, Rh and VPD are good. 78f @ 60% rh with soil temp at 78f and leaf temps cool to the touch and transpiring like crazy at 73f max. Light is at a mild 420 ppfd for a slightly low dli. She dosent seem to like getting blasted with the photons. So the machine is running fine. She got her first transitional lean to bloom feed last week and will slow down with the Stash Blend which should help get the nitrogen back down to a better level. And she didn't get any worm casting last feeding. Been giving her some monosilicic acid every other watering and a foliar spray down every week. Will be flipping to flower in 7 to 10 days or so. Otherwise cruise control is set.
I forgot I ordered these.
Orange Presidents are 39 days and the Papaya Sherbet is 44 days old. Still fighting the slight nitrogen overdose. But these Fastbuds seem to be chewing through it and holding up good. Fan leaves keep sucking up the "N" turning dark green, I pop them off and new leaves step up and take a bullet for the grow. Popping leaves off every other day. Need to take more today. Environment is good at 78f, 60% rh, 78f soil temp and leaf temp 73f to 74f with vpd at 1.20. Lights are a tad high for the autos right now so I will back them down just a tad later today. And the lights need to come up just a bit on the photo since it went into scrog a few days ago. Did break a freaking top stem when I scroged her the other day. Taped her up and moved on. I wanted to flip the photo to flower this weekend. Going to wait another week so she can fill the 3 x 3 up then go vertical.
